Political Action Fund (PAC)

Political Action Fund (PAC)

Political Action—Protection For Your Future

The 1199C Political Action Fund is known as a Political Action
Committee or PAC. PACs, such as the 1199C Political Action Fund, are
financed through separate member contributions as well as proceeds from
certain social affairs sponsored by the Union.

When there’s an election, the Political Action Fund looks at all
the candidates and then makes contributions to the election campaigns
of candidates for public office who exemplify the best in public
service and who have proven themselves most responsive to the needs of
our community.

You should know it’s against the law for a labor union to take
money from your paycheck for contributions to a federal PAC or for the
federal PAC to accept such contributions without your written
authorization, so if you wish to contribute to the District 1199C
Political Action Fund, you will need to complete a Political Action
Fund Pledge and Authorization Card (available under Forms on this
website) or at the District office.
